Low-Calorie Oven Fried Chicken
Juicy - Crispy - Low Calorie - Fried Chicken. Did you know such a thing was possible!?
Fried food is not the best food for your body but it sure does taste like it! I know that it can be hard to avoid the temptations of fried fatty foods. For that very reason, I am offering you this gem. It is NOTHING like any other "Oven Fried Chicken" recipe. Most of the ones that I have seen don't look anything like real fried chicken, would you agree? Try googling it. Sorry, but unless it tastes and looks like the REAL DEAL, for me, it just will not suffice. I don't think you should settle either. If there is a way to be health-conscious and still have tasty food, let's do that! I like to have my cake and eat it too! Without further adieu, here you have it, Oven Fried Chicken, THE REAL DEAL!
Health Tip:
When working with raw meats. Be sure to thoroughly clean your work station with soap and water. Avoid cross-contamination!
